Alysia Montaño just ran the 800-meter 5 months pregnant

Alysia Montaño is five months pregnant, but that didn’t stop her from running the 800 meter race at the USATF Outdoor Championships in California.

Montaño, who is from Queens, New York, wore a Wonder Woman top in the 110-degree heatat Hornet Stadium in Sacramento on Thursday. She also wore flowers in her hair. The Wonder Woman top was, she said, a way to symbolize that she was a “fighter for good,” while the flowers were for “strength with femininity,” according to her website.

“I think that a lot of people say things like you run like a girl. That doesn’t mean you have to run soft or you have to run dainty. It means that you’re strong,” she said in a message on her site.
